THE MEMBERS of the City Council of Bal
timore paid Mr.. Abel graceful and well
merited compliment when they officially
congratulated him upon the approaching
centennial of his newspaper. The SUn,
from the day of its commencement to the
present, has never ceased to be the Balti-
more newspaper. Baltimores people have
been its people, and Baltimore's lot its lot.
1t has stood by its city through evil and
through good report, and has done much to
promote its growth and prosperity. A pa.
per that has been so true to Baltimore's in
terests well deserves the formal recognition
of the authorities of Baltimore, and is Justly
entitled to the liberal support it has received
from the people of that city.

THE New York Herolds candidate for
the next democratic Vice Presidential nom
nation, the gushing Mr. Grady, of the At
Ianta Constitution, does not take we'll with
the New York democratic editors who have
been interviewed on the subject. They
seem to think, and rightly, that an after
dinner speech by Southern man, i'll which
he went out of his way to expires his thanks
to the North for whipping the South, Is not
all that is required of man who may he
called on to execute the important duties OF
the chief magistracy. The Southern woods
are full of better possible democratic Vice
Presidential candidates than NJ. Grady.
Mr.. Dorsheimer, the editor of the New York
star, says the best Southern man he knows
for the Office of Vice President is Gov. fiiz
hugh Lee, OF Virginia.

ALEX ANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3.

AsrHE contest the Virginia legislature is
having with the U. S. Supreme Court on the
subject of the State debt, does not seem to
require all its energies, it is now consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of entering upon new
one with that court, on the subject of the
drummers' tax. The Z. S. Supreme Court
has decided that the tender of Virginia
coupon is legal payment of any debt due
Virginia; it has also decided that Virginia
can not tax drummers from other States. A
decision of the U. S. Supreme Cour. is The
supreme law Of the land. But the Virginia
legislature says Virginia coupons shall not
b. re ceived for Virginia taxes; and it is now
considering proposition to tax drummers.
Most reasonable people think the time for a
State TO oppose the mandates of the U. S.
Supreme Court expired at AppomatIoz
twenty two years ago.

A MEETING of gentlemen of this city
interested in securing series OF lectures
and other entertainments of high order,
met on Saturday evening last and per-
fected an organization, selecting Mr..
Hewitt, president; Albert Landreth, sec
rotary and G.. B. Burnett, treasurer. The
other members of the association are
Doctors A. G. Fraser, 81. l.. Banzhof and
Martin, E. G.. Nash, l.. Sherman, 81. G..
Kress, Albert Guttmann, Gene Smalley
and John Chloupek.
The course has been selected and is a
most admirable one, both in point of in
dividual excellence and il the variety Of
fered. The lectures are by men who have
won reputation in their special fields OF
thought, covering philosophy, humor and
craftsmanship. DR.. Thomas of Chicago
will give his new lecture on the living
issues of the day; Mr.. Frank Lincoln of
New York, the celebrated humorist is en-
gagged to lecture on "The Ludicrous Side
of Life" Hon. r. Ct. Horn, of Michigan
Congressman 1.-THE Genuine
vs.. the Sham"
The musical feature of the course is
particularly fine. The Musin Grand Con-
cert Co. will open the course. Those who
have heard Musin pronounce him super
ior to Remenyi as violinist. The course
is closed by the Schubert Quartette said
to be the finest male quartette in the
country.
These entertainments are not given to
raise money for anything. All that is
wanted is to pay expenses and furnish
the people of the city a series of amuse-
ments which shall be entertaining and
elevating. Tickets for the course are
only 50. Should there be any surplus
it will be held in reserve as nucleus for
providing other entertainments of the
same order next season. Or if this pur-
pose be abandoned, the amount on hand
will be used for some deserving object.

WHAT disposition Is to be made of the
argument, SO frequently used by procec-
tionists, that high tariff actually ena-
bles the consumer to purchase goods
cheaper than if free trade prevailed, when
the laborer is to be tickled with the etraw
of high wages? Not many years ago the
manufacturers of print paper formed a
combination and ran the price up from 6
cents to eleven, the duty on pulp giving
them the opportunity. This was bring
ing the protection argument home to
publishers and the Wisconsin editorial
association petitioned congress to remove
the duty from pulp. There was not an
editor at that meeting who did not sup
port the petition. 1t secured an immedi-
ate reduction in the price. The wages Of
laborers in paper mills was not advanced
with the price of paper. Manufacturers
fix wages in accordance with supply and
demand and not with reference to profits
of their business. The dense population
of European manufacturing countries
and the consequent demand for employ
ment by the numerous laborers satisfac-
torily explain the low wages paid there.
Let there be two applicants for every po-
sition in this country and how readily
would the pauper level OF Europe be
reached. The highest wages are paid
here in sparsely settled territories because
labor is scarce.
It cannot but occasion surprise that a
man who has given thought to political
economy should be protectionist nuless
he is one of the protected class. Self
interest has wonderful influence or
opinion and greed is stronger than hon.
ests conviction. But the protectlonlst
who is such because it is party tenet
and who uses the hackneyed phrases
which have been coined to delude people
is a noisy and offensive chatterer in the
field of candid discussion. He makes nc
examination and would be free trader
as readily as protectionist if his party
squinted in that direction. Public opin.
ion should compel such person to limit
his attempts at argument to vapid plead.
ings to vote for the party nominee
He can rise to the hight of that argument

There is no such thing as getting to

Hon. John Carey knows good thing
when he sees it; so he bought one OF
Smalley's new patent feed cutters last
week and set it running full blast on Sat
urday without the aid of an expert. 1t
is daisy in design and model in SIM

Anton Walterbach OF Osman, the legi-

Anton is satisfied that he is boss of the

And now the people of School Dist.
No. 5 of Liberty are bowling for protection,
the school officers expected, because the
school board bought the stills for their
new school house from Pat McMahon of
Meme. Those people don't believe in buy
ing in another town when they have good
timber to sell "at good price" in their
own district. But somehow the school
board has an inkling that good timber
can be had in Meme for school purposes.
Rumor has it that J. T. Connell, the
popular blacksmith of Pigeon Lake, has
abandoned the idea of going to Cal1for-

no doubt of that's being good location,
and if he will make that move there will
be fortune in it.
Sheriff Bolen seems to have some real
or fancied dread of going to the south or
southwest part of the county, as he will
never venture beyond Osman without
taking with him a pilot or body guard
in the person Of A. F. Schneider.

IT was saying Of the late Joseph Ran.
kin that "a man in politics should never
loosen his grip unless he was of com
handing ability as he can never recover
power if he once loses it" Senator Saw
yer seems to have shaped his political life
in harmony with this idea. He practical
ly directs every movement of the republi-
can party of this state and does not hest
tate to take sides when there is conflict
and invariably brushes the opposition.
The Wisconsin legislature and republi-
can state conventions have been his pup
pets. He is by no means an offensive
boss but very arbitrary one notwith-
standing, and his wishes have all the force
of decree of fate. What the republican
party of the state will do may always be
determined by learning what Senator
Sawyer's desires are.
But it is said that Ginty and McFett-
ridge have joined forces to defend their
candidacy for the governorship against
Sawyer's preference for Hold Taylor.
This breaking away from one man dom
ination is accepted cody by the repubE-
cans OF the state who have manifested no
restiveness at the complete supremacy of
Sawyer over the party.

The Chippewa Herald says the surplus
may be prevented by peoples buying
goods of home manufacturers and letting
imported goods alone. Bless you,
George, for that hint. That is about as
logical as protection to American labor"
and has the merit of being new. The
plan proposed certainly would prevent
the accumulation of a surplus either in
the United States treasury or in the
pockets of the purchasers. We free trad
ers want little surplus for our pockets.
We have for too long time been using
these receptacles to store away dunnin0
bills and cigar stubs and would like to
feel there little of that surplus which
flows into the manufacturer for the sole
benefit OF the American laborer. Doesn't
thus strike you as pretty sensible scheme.

THE whole Smalley family, that is one
collateral branch, met in the city this
week. The members have genius as a
birthright. The celebrated G. w. Small
ley OF London is distant relative, man
who is as complete master of the Eng
lish language as any one living, but who
has sold his intellect for the smiles of
nobility. E. Y. Smalley, writer of ma
tional reputation, is also near relative.
Scarcely inferior to these is P. J. Smalley
who in his youth did not appreciate his
powers and amused himself with desul-
tory writing when he should have made
it profession. Hersch is the most Won
derful combination of humor, wit, ability
and generosity living, and has too much
heart to save money. Clarence is an in
ventive genius and in the line of ma
chinery has few equals. Ed. is combi-
nation; with a good share of Hersch's
readiness at repartee, he has Plies sta
bility and Charley's business tact. Ed
would make good newspaper reporter
and right lively one.
Charles, the youngest, has the business
genius Of the family. There is no other
man in the city engaged IN business from
whom more is expected in the way of
pushing forward its industries. There is
a personal interest taken by every one in
the restoration of his health.

THE movement toward making Phil
Sheridan the republican presidential NOM
inee is indeed langhable one, and shows
how badly the republicans are scared.
The republican party is about as crazy
on the military question as the democrats
have been on whiskey. The democrats
for long time believed that success was
assured by championing whiskey. Re-
peated defeats got them over that notion.
The republicans have yet to learn that
military service is not card to capture
the people.
